Heartbreaking...this is killing me!!

It's like suggesting to a Cop, "I pay your salary".

The Redskins are a fun diversion from reality for me. I certainly don't lose any sleep over their losses that's for sure. When I was younger I took it more much more seriously but in the grand scheme of life it's not very important. Nobody forces us to be Redskins fans. It's completely voluntary, so if you think the Redskins owe you something, you owe yourself a serious reality check.

Let's put this in context, Tafkas. I'm a father of 2 young girls. Obviously, football can never really be compared to family and friends. However, considering that most of have some kind of passion for the Skins and football in general, it does play a role in who we are. Also, since football is a business that is driven by the fans to produce revenue, they do in fact us us something.

I understand what you're saying. I mean I've been a season ticket holder to the Washington Bullets/Wizards for over 10 years and clearly I'm happier when they win than when they don't. I guess I just don't feel like I'm being cheated when they don't win the way some others do.

I think some of that comes with age. I used to be more upset after a loss than I am now. It DOES affect me and I am not having a very good year on Monday mornings, but, I'm not calling suicide hotline either

Good post. Let's face it we are just a average maybe even below average organization. We've had 2 decent years in the last 15. I was really mad for awhile yesterday, but to be honest I've come to expect performances like that. It's just frustrating as a fan to deal w/ this year in and year out for the most part. As an organization i just feel like we don't get it.

I really hate to do it but I'm turning my attention to the coaching staff. They get outcoached, yes outcoached, the majority of the time. I don't blame MB, i blame the coach that thinks MB can lead this team. I don't blame AA or AC, i blame the scouting, fo, coaches that brought them aboard. And no, i'm not saying that the coaches should be fired or anything. GW is proven. Al S is proven. JG is proven, although in a different era. Players make coaches look smart. Picking players make coaches look smart. Our organization, need to rethink its philosophy and make better decisions.

Brady make Belichek smarter. McNabb makes Reid a genius. Romo is making Parcells better. The list goes on.

Unfortunately, we don't know about JC yet. Let's face it he could be really not ready to play yet. From the players that i have heard from, they say that Collins would be preferred. We've got to do something though.

I certainly agree that in the grand scheme of things football is not very important at all. It certainly became much clearer to me after my first daughter was born seven years ago. However, I do think that professional sports teams due owe their fans. If it wasn't for us, they would not have a job. I certainly treat my clients like I owe them for their business.

Stop being a fan then. After all, we are the ones that initiate the relationship between fan and team.

Not me. The Redskins made sweet love to me one late December night. I'll never forget.

I'm just venting frustration here. It's a healthy thing to do. I do not think that it is irrational to expect more from your team. I'm kind of suprised that people would disagree with having expectations for a team we support in so many ways. I am a Skins fan, and always will be. It's not so black and white being a fan.

You're onto something here. Gibbs 1.0 teams OWNED the third quarter after making excellent halftime adjustments. Gibbs 2.0 gets less out of more talent, especially on the offensive side of the ball, than any team in recent memory. This runs deeper than coaching though, it's a dysfunctional organization starting with the front office structure. If you're going to be making the final call on all player personnel decisions as Gibbs does, batting .500 on big money free agents just won't cut it. The FA misses KILL your cap situation. Archuleta, the highest paid safety in NFL HISTORY has been relegated to special teams duty. The structure of his deal may prohibit us cutting him this offseason, even if he never plays another down on defense.
